Those of you who know me, know that I’m a very practical thinking person – especially when it comes to make up and even more specific when it comes to my everyday make up routine at weekdays. I mean, why getting up 30 minutes earlier when you can use the slumber mode three more times? Meanwhile I have quite a nice range of beauty looks saved in my brain which take no longer than 3 minutes and which – in case of need – can easily be tone on the go because they don’t need many products to create them. Today I will introduce you to three of these looks and they all have one thing in common: They start with the nurturing Estée Lauder Double Wear Cushion Stick which keeps your skin looking flawless for eight hours and which perfectly fits into your handbag so that you have this innovative piece at hand whenever you need it for a touch up.

The Nude Look
Let’s start with a so-called no make make up look. This means you look as if you don’t wear make up but you actually do. Uhm, yes, we cheat. All I need is the mentioned Double Wear Cushion Stick, mascara for sleepy eyes, a brow pencil for the perfect form and if you like a nude lipstick. Done – with only three to four products and in less than three minues.

The Shiny EyesNow let’s quickly add some glamour to the above nude look by using a sparkling eye shadow. Make sure to use a light shade in the nose area as well as under the curve of the brow to make your eyes look bigger and fresher, then go for a decent gold tone for the rest of the eye lid. If you have small eyes like mine, add some white kajal along the waterline of your eyes to enlarge them visually.

The Bright Lips
Prepare your skin, brows and lashes exactly as described above for the Nude Look. But as we’re about to create an eye-catching look, we go for a bold lipstick. This beauty look is the perfect choice if you’re at work all day but have a ladies night or date planed for the evening so you can keep your make up natural for the day but then add the bright lipstick for the night!
